We guarantee to give the “most in quality and quantity” at lowest prices in the county. Our goods are just a little better and 10 per cent cheaper than elsewhere. The man that buys here is enabled to start a bank account—is on the road to wealth. Farmers Beware of Cheap Clover Seed That ia floating on the market in this vicinity.
